1

Data on consumption of water consumed water meter is displayed on the scoreboard.They are of two types: digital drum mechanism and dial.When working with the first to look at the instrument panel, which has run a part of the flow is shown in the slot.This value and the need to write.And if you want to know how much was spent in the previous period, then simply subtract from the present (current) value of a previously recorded number, and get the result.

Cheating values ​​from the device of the second type (with dial).On the counter of the small dials arranged in a circle.There is a large arrow that points to the numbers on the outer edge of the counter - it shows tenths of a cubic meter (one share = 100 liters).On the other dials accountable tenths of cubic meters (cu. Meter = 1000 liters), tens of thousands.At the same time pay attention to the direction of the rotating arrows.

3

required numbers to transmit readings are right, they are separated by a comma and a different color.The numbers on the left represent the proportion of cubic meters, you will also need the ones that show the whole cubic meters, that is to the right (as they change water consumption).

There are so-called remote reading device.For this purpose, it is necessary to install an additional meter reed switch (small electromagnetic device), and the mechanical counter parts (roller cog or an arrow) - a small magnet.A magnet with a constant turnover of items, runs next to the reed switch, which at the time the external contact is closed low-voltage circuit.By counting the number of pulses (taking into account their weight), which generated a counter, you can get the volume of water.When the device is working properly, for a certain period of time (day, hour, week, month) the number of pulses will correspond to a built-in LED counter.

Note

Some HOA (Management Company) is added to cold water you consumed an amount of 40-60 rubles.This, they explain the fact that the water in the spent washing stairwells and obschedomovye leak.

Over time, cause false readings may be hard water and therefore blockages in pipes.You spend as much water as before, and a receipt with amounts coming more and more.This output is: either change the device itself or refer it to be repaired.

Helpful Hint

installing the counter on the hot and cold water, inform the management company by filling in the appropriate form, which specify the start-up costs of water. If the installation is carried out by specialists, he should leave the form, which will make the first reading.

water meters useful because it not only removes the indications and controls the consumption of water, but also determines whether you have a leak in the pipes.Close all valves and if the mechanism moves the account, from the tightness in your house is not all right.
